But that is the whole point of the material design theme - you simple blow
up all elements - that way you get pleasant layout, and it work on touch
devices.
Your goal seems to be something else - minimize wasted space, while still
be able to use it on touch devices? I think that is a reasonable goal,
but it
is hard to get there with a good layout, because you destroy the uniform
spacing
property.
